[交流] Death toll climbs to 18 in Tibet following Nepal earthquake

LHASA - Death toll in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region has climbed to 18, after a powerful earthquake struck neighboring Nepal on Saturday, local authorities said Sunday.

A total of 55 people were injured, while about 12,000 have been evacuated, according to rescuers.

A massive 8.1-magnitude quake shook Nepal at 2:11 pm (Beijing Time), killing at least 1,910 people in the country. The quake also strongly affected some counties in Tibet.

Some 7,000 people have been relocated in the county of Nyalam, while about 5,000 have been evacuated in the county of Gyirong. The two border ports near Nepal were among the most affected counties in Tibet.

In Gyirong, some 800 km west to Lhasa, six people were killed and 17 were injured in the quake, according to the local rescue headquarters.

As of 7 am Sunday, four people, including a Nepalese national, remain missing in Nyalam.

The quake toppled 1,191 houses, damaged roads and cut off telecommunications in the two counties, both in Xigaze, as well as in several neighboring regions.
